We need a bunch of DH clones all over the world producing this kind of high quality content combined with great narration. I’ve been watching railroad-themed videos for 35 years and they don’t get any better than this. Thanks Danny. Live long and prosper.
Zephyrhills Holdout is fitted with LEDs, that's why they are SO much brighter. Florida East Coast Railway has them as well as the CFRC. The SFRC has only one to two CPs with LEDs. BEAUTIFUL video!!!
It also looks like it's aimed a bit differently so Danny was standing more in its line of sight. There's an NS signal here on the Beltline trail (so legal to go up to it) that's still lit, and you can see just how tightly aimed it is into the curve of the track at its location. This signal looks similar.
Wow, that's a lot of light! I've been looking for places around my area to shoot at night, but there's nothing like this. It sure opens up a new perspective! Your "just a very loud shadow in the moonlight comment" resonates with me, because the majority of the trains here run under the cover of a dark sky. Also, loved the street running shots in Tampa, was wondering when you were going there again as I recall that location from your older videos. Still plenty of street running in Pennsylvania if you ever visit!
I thought they took the switch out from the house track in Dade City. I gotta check out that lighting there soon. That is the longest that I have ever seen the Tampa street runner. The last couple times that I tried to film it I struck out. You got a great shot of it!
This is like when Luke Towan commented on one of Marklin of Sweden's videos! (They are model railroading guys). It makes me strangely happy to see that Jaw Tooth is a Danny Harmon fan, and no doubt vice versa.
I don't think it's even capable of storing cars anymore, the track is literally buried to an extent where it seems impossible, especially on the area nearest to the lot. It's only been recent that I've noticed the rail has been poking out more.
@@ntekniklaus3710 You can see the tops of the rails. And as long as they are in gauge, they're fine. Not every track needs to be pristine and shiny to hold cars or carry traffic. From the Maps Street view, the electric switch is there in 2016, but gone in 2019. The satellite view you can see the switch timbers but the rail is gone.
Dan it was great hanging out with you that day, hanging out with you and the others and playing with the HO layout was an absolute blast, and will definitely be a day for the books. To see Mr. Hibbard again on this footage just gets me, and may he rest in peace. I now volunteer here whenever I can to run the layouts, and hopefully I'm able to do the job as good as he did.
I have always enjoyed your rail fanning videos Danny. Top notch production with great narrative. I am a novice rail fan and have learned from your videos. You are the best !! Thank you sir.
i NEVER fail to hit the like button,,,,,,,,,,,i have not EVER seen a video of yours that i did not LIKE............you're the best.............thanks..........
Thanks for sharing. I´m new to your channel, but I like watching your stuff and listenig to your comments much more than solely seeing trains moving from left to right and right to left. Go ahead and bring light into my american railroading black and grey. Alex E from good ol´germany across the pond.
In my opinion this is the best content and best produced rail fan channel on UA-cam, i look forward to watching it. I just wish that we had good spots up here in south east Wisconsin.
It's always a great thing when a city and a museum understand how fun railfanning is when you have good ambient lightning at night, which is rare unless you are in a city that's well lit.
Great video Danny! I was gonna note South Florida and Orlando have decent commuter station lighting, as well as several of the coastal towns on the FEC that can afford night videography. It was great that you got 295, I've been bonked by that train several times.
Nothing better than a Sunday morning cup of coffee & a new video from Distant Signal Production. Great video Danny! I am surprised that 6553 wasn't operating it's ditch lights while running down Polk street. Maybe so as not to blind car traffic? I did notice the remote control strobes flashing. Looking forward to the next production.👍
Enjoy your video's especially when in Tampa and Dade City areas. I lived and worked in Dade City for several years. Originally worked in San Antonio for the Orange Belt tourist line as their locomotive mechanic. It was while there that I met the owner of ex Reader RR #11 that was operating there. When that operation decided to move to different location he decided not to. Moved locomotive and several cars to Tampa for storage till suitable location to operate. He hired me as his mechanic. All this to comment on street night running in Tampa. He contracted out equipment to be used in a movie so had to run from storage track to Tampa Union. We had locomotive fired up and local crew let us do the pulling of cars. If memory serves me right, this was late 70's, there were somewhere between 30-50 mostly empty boxes. I was firing and #11 did beautifully. Barking her loudest & prancing down middle of street right as bars were letting out. Glance up and saw curtains opening in hotels. Can only imagine what was going through their minds. Was quiet an experience. As a side note after filming on line that ran to Brooksville our Seaboard pilot crew wanted to beat Amtrak into Union station so we hit 50 MPH on our return. Both injectors going to keep water in boiler and needle pegged right at pop off pressure. Yes, we beat 'em.
I love your videos. Your narration gives details of route(s) and many times, the history of the line in the area as well as rules/regs. Thank you and "Keep'um a come'in".
@@distantsignal - Well no. From Emporia, Kansas. Had an Uncle that worked for Santa Fe there. The reason I use the "Bailey Yard" name is because that is my last name. Would love to visit the North Platt yards one day thou, but at 61 years old I may not make it (LOL). I here tell it's BIG (11miles x 3miles?). The damn place viewed with Google Earth is impressive. Bigger than little Deshler, Ohio (I view the webcams at Deshler's rail park).
Excellent good video, mr Danny Harmon. It is the U.S.A. normal that freighttrains riding trough the streets of a city or village. I have seen several video's of mr Jaw Tooth in Ohio and West Virginia and streetrunning trains is since 1968 not more possible in the Netherlands. Since 1970 all the railways how lying in city's and villages are broken up. But on this video's i can follow what's happen on the railways of the U.S.A. Thank you. Greet from Zandvoort the Netherlands 🇾🇪🇺🇸
Enjoying your videos from Eastern Canada, where rail service has greatly diminished over the last 3 decades. Gotta get my rail fanning fix somehow, even if it is vicariously.
Thanks Danny for another great video. Your content is much appreciated by those of us who live in places where trains no longer run. I really enjoyed seeing the street running. Take care!
That's quite a sight, a cargo train heading through city streets right down the middle. Great footage! My current camera would still struggle to record at those light levels.
Night rail photography has always had a special place in my heart. Perhaps it's because that's the only time I could photograph Southern Railway's "Southern Crescent" as it stopped in Salisbury and Greensboro, NC around 1:00am. I have daytime shots of the E8s at Ivy City and at the station in Atlanta, but night shots always seem to have a special magic. Great video.
Love your videos as always and what I really appreciate is that you take the time to ride the levels so that we can hear you talk and then not have to turn down our speakers for the horns. :)
As a new member of your channel this is my first comment, I enjoy your work, you are the most professional of any train videos. Well done! Old retired RR man and miss it. Live in south Florida.

That's absolutely surreal to see a big, heavy diesel locomotive and freight wagons on a street-running section instead of little electric Interurban cars. New Zealand hasn't got any street-running railways anymore, although I'm pretty sure Auckland used to have some street-running lines.
I chased the local switcher early summer right at dark. Watched them switch out the mill and the propane facility. Some of the best shots I've ever got. Added an entire new mystique to rail fanning.and it seems the sounds travel further in the dark.
At 5:57 : I have seen both those locomotives running the line by where I live. Locomotive 2014 had derailed its back truck not more than 5 months previosly. Luckily no one was injured. Y295 (the street runner) is what 2014 had been running. Your videos are amazing, can't wait to see more!
I have just recently discovered Danny's channel. I'm bing watching trying to get current and enjoying these video's. Danny, if you see this message I had just previously communicated with you on your most recent BrightLine post. I'm currently battling cancer and obviously not working right now. I again want to thank you for all your awesome posts. Your narrations are outstanding and it definitely helps take my mind off of things even if just for a little while. I'll keep you posted on any Bright line stuff I hear or see as I live north of Vero Beach and can literally see the tracks right down the private road. I get to see the test trains go by a few times a week. If you need anything let me know.
Thanks so much. The best of luck in your battle with cancer. Keep up the fight, do what the doctors tell you and don't give up hope. Email me with any questions. railfandanny@gmail.com.
That’s awesome that you caught some street running, Danny! I’m lucky enough to live in the southern Willamette valley of Western Oregon where there’s still quite a bit of street operated trackage within fifteen miles of my front door step. I always have to drive those roads when I’m in those towns (namely Junction City and Harrisburg) just to feel the rails under my car tires lol. :-)
I’m an alum from Univ. of Tampa and I always say the local pull out onto the spur when my night classes ended. I used to wait for it at the lift bridge and then follow it to Kennedy Blvd. good times; great video!
I truly enjoy those rebuilt Dash 3 cabs. They look much more modern and fresh, probably because it's new and different. Hard to believe how long standard cabs have been around.
As usual this is so enjoyable and informative. As a side note when you get tired of looking at trains, start looking into all the different train horns. You do a great job as always Danny, and thank you for sharing. Stay safe and wash your hands.
Danny! I don't think I've commented before, but I love the videos. They're so informative! I wanted to mention I am also a gearhead and was watching some Motortrend the other day and recognized a familiar voice!
This is well worth the wait...I am gonna try to get some pics sent over of trains that run along the US 287 corridor in Texas and as well as US 50 in La Junta CO...that nighttime running along Polk St is AMAZING
Danny, ever since Positive Train Control took effect on the lines, the signals have to be able to show a restricting aspect. For certain railroads, a flashing red light is acceptable as the aspect for restricting. I don't know whose bright idea it was to exclude the flashing red in favor of the lunar aspect in the CSX region. The original meaning for a lunar aspect was "You're leaving signaled territory now, Good luck!" To me it would have seemed easier to simply apply the rule rather than install physical signals but hey, it's not my railroad either. Anyways, in order to be compliant with the order, all new signals must be capable of showing a restricting aspect in case the signal system fails on the primary, so the dispatcher has a secondary route plan. This was explained to me in 2008 just before I left CSX and it's been in place on the UP and BNSF for some time now as well. I'd assume since it's a mandated order like PTC, it's probably on every line with signals. I don't remember where the exact wording is on that but I'm betting someone else on here has it too. I never ran restricting signals on CSX but I did run restricting signals on UP one time. It was during a work curfew and I was the engineer of a ballast train to the site where we had a terrible washout. The section of track was about 40 miles long and the whole section had been shut down by the washout. As a result the signals were OOS on primary. We were given written authority to enter the signaled territory and then we ran on flashing red signals all the way to the work site. After dumping out the rocks, we shoved back on flashing signals to a siding where we ran around our train and pulled it back to where we started. The whole trip took less than 4 hours, even at +/- 10mph running so it was a good day! Edit: Also, just a note on the bell sub - I did not get a notice that you shared a video. I found it in my suggestions box and almost skipped it when I thought I had seen it already. It dawned on me that I hadn't when I saw it was only 1 day ago that you uploaded it.
I've heard from my grandfather who used to work on bnsf, that railroaders don't like the flashing red restricting, because it can be mistaken for a crossing signal from a distance.
@@j-bird1778 It's the responsibility of the railroaders to know where the signal is and the aspects that are suited for each one. While I certainly agree the flashing red is similar in appearance to a crossing, so many signals are nowhere near a crossing.
Never ever have I been disappointed with anything you have posted! If there is any disappointment 🤣 it’s waiting so long for the next one! Thank You Danny please stay Safe & Healthy 😷😷😷
I'm in Western Australia and always enjoy seeing a train go by. Florida trains? Couldn't have cared one bit until Danny and Distant Signal fell in my lap a few years ago. Now? Danny's work stands out and is well worth the (sometimes long) wait. Best dialogue and story line; very, very good camera and sound. #1 for my train watching Thanks Danny!
Thank you for your videos: high-grade production, thoughtful cinematography, and an overall great presentation of your genuine interest in the rail world. It is a wonderful accompaniment to a snowy Sunday morning cup of coffee in southeast Michigan. I've learned a lot from your videos and look forward to more! Stay safe out there and keep up the great work!
Thank you Danny for another great night video and the street running on Polk Street!! Stay safe out there. PS Would you ever consider doing a short video ( 5 to 7 minutes) of some of the food places you have visited during your trips? The ones you’ve mentioned in some of your visits look very good!

Danny, ever since Positive Train Control took effect on the lines, the signals have to be able to show a restricting aspect. For certain railroads, a flashing red light is acceptable as the aspect for restricting. I don't know whose bright idea it was to exclude the flashing red in favor of the lunar aspect in the CSX region.

The section of track was about 40 miles long and the whole section had been shut down by the washout. As a result the signals were OOS on primary. We were given written authority to enter the signaled territory and then we ran on flashing red signals all the way to the work site. After dumping out the rocks, we shoved back on flashing signals to a siding where we ran around our train and pulled it back to where we started. The whole trip took less than 4 hours, even at +/- 10mph running so it was a good day!
Edit: Also, just a note on the bell sub - I did not get a notice that you shared a video. I found it in my suggestions box and almost skipped it when I thought I had seen it already. It dawned on me that I hadn't when I saw it was only 1 day ago that you uploaded it.
I've heard from my grandfather who used to work on bnsf, that railroaders don't like the flashing red restricting, because it can be mistaken for a crossing signal from a distance.
@@j-bird1778 It's the responsibility of the railroaders to know where the signal is and the aspects that are suited for each one. While I certainly agree the flashing red is similar in appearance to a crossing, so many signals are nowhere near a crossing.
Never ever have I been disappointed with anything you have posted! If there is any disappointment 🤣 it’s waiting so long for the next one! Thank You Danny please stay
Safe & Healthy 😷😷😷
Awesome and I for one love night time railfaning.
Super valuable videos. Going through training and it’s so good to get a visual vs having just words in a rulebook
Nice catches! I like the CSX EMD Rebuilds and the CSX EMD SD40-2 at 1:34 a lot! Really nice!
Great stuff!! I really like to see the former cryo cars, just think they are unique and neat!! Have to have French fries after all!!!
Saved this one for Thanksgiving Danny and worth the wait. Bravo.
Another great video, Danny!
Greetings from the UK!
Love those night shots, Danny.
I'm in Western Australia and always enjoy seeing a train go by.
Florida trains? Couldn't have cared one bit until Danny and Distant Signal fell in my lap a few years ago.
Now?
Danny's work stands out and is well worth the (sometimes long) wait.
Best dialogue and story line; very, very good camera and sound. #1 for my train watching
Thanks Danny!
Danny, you did it again. Another outstanding video. Keep them coming. Hope to one day meet you on "The High Iron".
Love those standard cab locomotives
Thank you for your videos: high-grade production, thoughtful cinematography, and an overall great presentation of your genuine interest in the rail world. It is a wonderful accompaniment to a snowy Sunday morning cup of coffee in southeast Michigan. I've learned a lot from your videos and look forward to more! Stay safe out there and keep up the great work!
Thanks Danny, as always very interesting. Thanks for all you do.
Yeah that's awesome
Thank you Danny for another great night video and the street running on Polk Street!! Stay safe out there. PS Would you ever consider doing a short video ( 5 to 7 minutes) of some of the food places you have visited during your trips? The ones you’ve mentioned in some of your visits look very good!
Seeing those two refurbished and spiffy old GP's at work makes me happy.
Another fantastic video Danny. Thanks.
Yes love train action!!
